The Department Of Justice After
Them---Preparing the Testimony

F4assE AllHZ aa'acEAA
New YORK, Aug. 15.-The following
story is printed here.
"a statement in detail Of the affairs Of
the Pacific railroads is being prepared by
Maj. R~eddington, with a view Of the
prosecution, beth civil and criminal of
the directors of those companies. It is a
well known fact that the government and
The Central and Union Pacific roads have
been o-utrageously pIundered by the di-
rectors of those roads out Of about $75,-
600, 600. 1t is also . fact that all this
money u be recovered, provided the
government took proper action, and it Is
now intimated hat it intends doing SO,
and when the proper time arrives Mai.
Reddington will produce the. name of a
man who acted az paymaster for Hunt
1ngton and his agent, Sherrell, for SER
vices performed in Washington, or, in
other words, In explaining to members
their duty regarding the Pacific roads,.
.Ihe testimony of Coils p. Hunting
ton before the Pacific railroads commits
sion in New York last April In the opin-
ion Of officials of the department of JUS
tics WAS sufficient to warrant the indict-
mets of MIR. Huntington and his associ-
ates for bribery by the grand jury of this
district. 1t is learned on good authority
that steps were taken by the department
early In May to- indict Mr.. Huntington.
but that the matter was postponed at the
request OF the Pacific railroads commits
sion. Ex-Governor Pattison, the chair
man Of the commission, wrote to the at
torney general asking that no
action should be taken by the govern
lnent looking TO tie Indictment
of any of the officials Of the
the Central and Union Pacific railroad
syndicate until the commission had conn
pletedS their labors and submitted their
report Goys Pattison thought, it lis
said, that the Indictment Of Huntington
or any Of his associates pending their In
vestigation would complicate matters
and prevent the commission from obtain
ing much valuable information. Upon
the receipt OF Coy. pattison,s request
the department suspended operations
looking to the indictment OF Huntington,
and it is said no further steps will be
taken In the matter until congress- meets
and the investigation committee have
made their report.
Messrs. Pattfson and Anderson, of
the commission, while In Washington,
thought they would be able to complete
the investigation byshe time congress as-
elnbles In December. There is NO doubt
III the minds of several lawyers here that
Mr.. Huntington and most of his associ-
ates have rendered themselves liable to
3 Indictment; that the government haa
plenty of material to work on now with
Out waiting for further developments.

SEX FRANCISCO, Aug. 15.-It is now
ten days since the produce exchange call
board closed its doors, owing to the coll
lapse of the bull clique and though it
was announced that it would resume OPP
erations in a day. or two, or at the fur
thest on Monday last, 1t has not done so
yet. Vsrious pretexts have been Offered
for the delay the principal ones being
that the revised rules are not yet ready.
The real cause is now said to be that the
settlement is still uncompleted and the
board, which is controlled by the bulls,
will not be authorized to resume business
until matters are arranged to the COM
plete satisfaction of the clique. 1t is
known that a stubborn resistance is be-
ing made by n strong bear, and until
he is placated the business of the call
board will be suspended.
